unable to reproduce this. it would help to know your exact binutils version. (In reply to comment #1) > unable to reproduce this. it would help to know your exact binutils version. I think they are binutils-2.15.90.0.3, but I don't remember if it was this version when I first tried to compile X.org (I upgraded since). Anyway, I managed to compile a few days after the bug report; it was cpp that choked on some include files, because when I used gcc instead (I entered the command line from make at the prompt, just substituting gcc for cpp), the compilation succeeded, and the resulting server worked ok. I since compiled 8.6.2 without trouble. marking WORKSFORME then, we'll see if this resurfaces. thanks! |

I can't compile X.org/X11R6.8.1 from source. I run Linux 2.6.9 (self-compiled) with gcc-3.4.3 (self-compiled). Compiling X.org lead to an error (freetype2 headers were not found; they are in /usr/local/include/freetype2 and X.org searched them in /usr/include/freetype2; symlinking from here to there solved the problem). Then compilation aborted because of a syntax error in an assembly file; I upgraded binutils from 2.13.2 to 2.15 and the faulty file compiled; however compilation stopped a few steps after, in build/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/misc/SlowBcopy: gcc -m32 -c -x assembler -o SlowBcopy.o SlowBcopy.i SlowBcopy.i: Assembler messages: SlowBcopy.i:686: Error: invalid character '(' in mnemonic Ligne 686 shows movb(%ecx),%bl
